I cant find a way to set up my old itunes account in a new computer... I dont find my music

I download Itunes in my new computer and i dont see how i can get my account set up to access my music

It you go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side select "Purhcased", you can re-download any songs, TV shows, etc. that you previously purchased on that account.
Any music that you got off of CD's or elsewhere, you simply need the CD or whatever you got it off of.

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • Can I set up a seperate itunes account on the same computer to use an additional ipod?

    can I set up a seperate itunes account on the same computer to use an additional ipod?

    Why would you set up another account?

  • Can I set up two different ITunes accounts on the same computer?

    Is it possible to set up two separate ITunes accounts on one computer and yet share some of the same songs in the Library?

    Yes create two users on that computer
    One for each account, and then you will have 2 itunes libraries.
    Control Panel, user accounts, add new account (give it admin rights).
    Log off and then log in with the new account.
    Make sure you log out and not switch accounts when moving between the two users.

  • How do I set up two different Itunes accounts on the same computer

    I have one PC laptop and my daughter and I both have IPhone 4's.  I want to sync both phones using the same computer but want totally different accounts so that I don't have her music, aps, etc and vice versa.  I've tried this many many times and can never seem to get it right.  If I sign out of my ITunes account and then plug her phone into my computer, it syncs my stuff onto her phone.  HELP!

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • Can I set up a 2nd iTunes account for a new iPod on my iMac?

    How do you set it up?  If so, can the 2 accounts share music?  If they can share music, does it have to be the entire library or can you pick and choose what you want to share?  Lastly, can they have 2 different cards or iTunes cards linked to them?  Thanks!!

    Yes, as long as he/she is at least 13 years old.

  • I cannot find my old itunes library.  Using new computer but no clue how to access library

    It has been ages ( 5 years) since I use my itunes account. All my old computers are dead. Downloaded the most recent itunes software on new computer but when I sign in to my old account info is correct but no library. Any ide how to access and get old library onto new computer?

    If you are in the US and if the songs are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are not in the US and for any music from your own CDs that you copied, then have you not got backups on, for example, external drives and or CDs/DVDs that you can copy onto your computer and then load into iTunes ?

  • Setting up Brand New iPad 2 - iTunes Sharing and Getting Files from old iTunes Account

    Greetings.  I recently purchased an iPad 2 (convert after 20 years of PC use) and have been waiting to set it up until I knew the proper way to proceed.  I have multiple questions and am hoping those of you with more Apple experience can help out a convert .
    I would like to set it up with a new iTunes account so when my wife gets her iPad 2 next year we can share apps and movies we buy on iTunes.  Do you always have to sync your iPad to your PC to get your latest purchases or can you do that via the wireless connection directly on the iPad after the initial set-up?
    That said, if one of us buys an app/movie, will we both have to carry it on our iPads or will they store remotely on iTunes or on our PCs?  I'm just concerned about maxing out the storage space on the iPad.  Do the purchases need to occur on your PC vs. the iPad itself for both to have the app/movie access?
    I've also read about iCloud issues and syncing all calendar/contact/etc. accounts if two iPads are set-up with the same Apple ID.  What's the best way to initially configure the iPads so that you avoid this headache in the future?
    Once I get all this settled and get a new iTunes shared account working, is there any way to get the movies I have in both of our old iTunes accounts into the new shared iTunes account?  Can I simply drop them on a jump drive from one PC and place them into an appropriate folder on the new PC that the iPad sync's to if it does in fact need to sync?
    Again, appreciate all the help and sorry for all of the confusion and multiple thoughts.  I would just like to set this thing up once and for all the right way.
    Thanks again

    1, you can (re-)download a lot of purchases directly on the iPad without having to connect to your computer - apps and ibooks can be re-downloaded (as long as they remain available), music can be re-downloaded in some countries; tv shows can currently only be re-downloaded in the US. Re-downloading
    2, films are a one-time only download, so you can either download it on your computer's iTunes and sync it to your device(s), or if you download it directly on the iPad you will need to then copy it to your computer's iTunes (connect the iPad and do File > Transfer Purchases) so that you can make a backup and copy it to your other iPods, iPads etc.
    3, I haven't had any problems with iCloud, but then I don't share my account so it's only my account and contacts on my iPad and iPhone.
    4, you can authorise your old accounts on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) and copy the films onto it : File > Add File To Library - you can't copy or transfer content to a different account (nor can you combine accounts), they will remain tied to the original account
    The iPad's manual has some info about syncing and each of the built-in apps (the iBooks app is covered in the manual though it isn't pre-installed, but you can download it for free from the store) - the manual can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • Front Row cant find my music

    Hi,
    Im pretty new when it comes to Mac. Ive added all my music and downloaded some from IStore, but Front Row says that it cant find the music and that I need to either import it or buy it from Istore. But Ive done this and still it doesnt work.
    what can I do?
    /Henrik

    I too have found this. My sharing was already on. However, my issue relates to Audiobooks specifically. I get them from Audible.co.uk. I have a specific library for audiobooks and keep music in the standard iTunes folder and use the Alt key to choose the library when starting.
    In the audiobooks library I have set up playlists for different genres. This works in iTunes and on the iPod I use for the books, but not in Frontrow. In FR all my non protected books appear but the protected do not unless I go to the specific Audiobooks folder. They all appear and work fine, but that means I have to know who wrote the book in order to find the book I want. In a substantial library this is long winded. It would be better if I could just choose a custom playlist.
    Any ideas?

  • Is there a way to set ebooks up in iTunes so when they go in ibooks they stay in the order of the author and series?

    Is there a way to set ebooks up in iTunes so when they go in ibooks they stay in the order of the author and series?

    Hello Serenity99.   In my rather limited experience with this, I have had much success with just copying and pasting the project from within FCP X.  All of the properties (retiming, themes, effects, music, sound effects etc.) copy over exactly between the two, which is great.  The only thing is that while the transitions and retiming copy over in the one go, you may have to go back and copy and paste any titles seperately as they are placed above the clips (well in my case they have been) but they will copy over nicely and as previously configured.  I have not found this to be a big hassle at all.  I was releaved to find that the process was as easy as it was.  Mind you, I have not has as hiccup free a time with copy and pasting from other applications like iMovie to FCP X.  Although I can select and copy the projects, all the other editing and rejiging has been jumbled and required much reworking.  But if you stick to within FCP X it is easy as pie and works wonderfully.

  • My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

    It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
    Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
    Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
    Thank you in advance.

    FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

    You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
    I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
    I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
    Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
    Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
    The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
    I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
    You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.
